I am almost afraid to touch this one! Books Erroneously Combined?

:-O I don't know, but it seems someone has not really understood what combining means

Gosh, that looks terrible. I just went through the change log and it seems that 'Goodreads' combined them - whatever that is supposed to mean. Is that indicating a script? I just don't get how anyone/thing thought this a good idea...

SURE! What 's the best method of attack?
I've been working from this page: http://www.goodreads.com/book/separat...If you select all editions of a work, it separates them at one time, and is a heck of a lot easier.
I'll take: Snatched, Black Jaguar, Anaz-Voohri, Blue Lioness, and Checkmate.
You want the rest?
Also I'll need your help to re-instate the series. That will be the true mess.

Weird. On the combine page it looks like it can be, but it was, in actual fact, the most popular edition. Probably a side effect of having so many separations done. I got it to separate though. Time to fix the series! Nice team work so far.
yes! Thank you!Now what do we do about the series? Like I said, I might need some direction on that...
I think I forgot how to English in my last post. >.<Anyway, it looks like I have restored all the series to their proper state. Lord, but is her website hard to navigate.

Thank you so much for that! And yes! I agree, her website is a total disaster!
There are 36 books that have been combined and I believe they should not be, but I thought I might point it out before working on separating them... Perhaps you guys can see who combined all these books?
Main book page: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/96...
Here are all the supposed editions: http://www.goodreads.com/work/edition...
The authors official blog (which is a bit of a mess and tough to read for alpha by title see link below): http://www.vijayaschartz.com/
I really don't know if it is appropriate to link to a comp site (but it's Amazon owned too, so probably ok?), but this has a comprehensive list you can sort alpha by title: http://www.shelfari.com/authors/a9214...
